i suspect that facism is going to force me to move back into the country that my parents immigrated from if trump gets his way and in the same way that incidents like operation wetback deported millions of american citizens.
I don’t know your situation, and I don’t have a crystal ball, but I think Trump’s rhetoric is going to rub up against the will of the bourgeoisie which relies on exploiting immigrant labor. Republicans talk a big game about immigrants and then exploit the precarity & fear that it generates. Not to imply that the fear isn’t justified, because it’s not all talk.
do you not think, that potentially, they just go the indentured servitude route, after holding people for the "crime" of illegal immigration?
Good point, and quite grim. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that California voters, by popular referendum, chose to uphold slavery this month.
yerp, I partially think that was necessary for this route (which probably would've happened agnostic to either party), since central california does a shit ton of agriculture.
